[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7751176, member: 37579"] It just finished episode 18. So the comparison would be the Trial of the Take storyline. They had pretty much just finished the lengthy Underdark storyline. This one has had three or so smaller stories already, and is just edging into the first big quests/ storyline. I'd disagree with that. Knott is about as silly as Scanlan, but that's to be expected with Sam, but there is a streak of darkness there absent for Scanlan. Keyleth and Beau are comparable, with Beau being a tad more serious, and ditto Yasha and Pike. Molly & Percy and Caleb & Vax are equally dramatic. Meanwhile Fjord is more serious than Grog. The only character that's really sillier is Jester, who is much goofier than Vex. But that's more of an innocence that might be lost. Maybe. Keep in mind there were two years of stories prior. The equivalent of something like 50 episodes. Well, it's night and day between hundreds of hours with a character and knowing their hopes and dreams, and a few dozen hours. I think these characters have a lot more potential. We knew a lot about the CR characters right off the bat, as that had already been known and touched on. There wasn't a lot of secrets. These guys are still having their backgrounds revealed. We just got some new information last episode on Jester. I think these characters are much more layered and well thought out with far more story seeds and hooks and potential plots. Which makes sense as they're being designed for a campaign that reveals that information and less for a homegame that is initially a series of one or two one-shots. [/QUOTE]
